Lewiston Police Department Chief Steven Orr said that while the association and sheriffs in Idaho support the second amendment, they also believe in safety and feel guns paired with in-experienced college kids is not a good mix.

"You got a combination of youth, alcohol and drug experimentation or use," said Chief Orr. "You've got the emotions and stressors of college life and then critical thinking skills that have not developed."

Moscow Chief of Police David Duke also opposes the bill and feels officer safety would be a concern if guns are allowed on campuses.

The bill is headed to Governor Otter's desk and if passed, Idaho would join states like Colorado, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin allowing concealed weapons on campuses.
